NMC Forms

All forms posted on the NMC website are the most up-to-date versions and will be accepted by the NMC, even if they have expired. The NMC is working with U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters and the Office of Management and Budget regarding the approval of updated forms.

Avoid Delays

Complete applications are accepted at Regional Examination Centers (RECs) via mail, e-mail, fax, or in person. The NMC will NOT accept applications directly from mariners. If you submit an incomplete application, you will receive an Awaiting Information (AI) letter and YOUR CREDENTIAL WILL BE DELAYED!
